 I fell in love with space when I was a little kid growing up out in the country in Queensland because the sky is just on show every night and it's stunning and beautiful. I did my Bachelor of Science with Advanced Studies at Griffith University and now I'm a research scientist at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. Exoplanets are planets around other stars and what I do is detect them and characterize them and catalogue them. Every step of the way I've had people guiding me and pushing me and helping me so I feel very strongly that I need to be that person for young female scientists.
